Lance Corporal Lester Virgil Wells served at An Hoa Vietnam, dodging bullets in fox holes and firing mortars. He survived being shot down, sitting on a booby trap, and a direct hit on a bunker! He was shot twice and received 2 Purple Hearts.

Stacy Holbert - When I was talking to Virgil about getting his portrait done, he told me another man in his squad wrote a book about their experiences in Vietnam. The book is Some Gave It All by Dan Lane. I got the book and read it and it is heartbreaking and unimaginable what our soldiers go through. I have a lot of respect for these guys, especially our combat vets.
